nature

I love friday's class. It was exciting to get to sit outside for the nature poem. Professor Corrigan always has a way of incorporating our literature class in with what the subject is. It's such a fun way and a different atmosphere to be in. Friday was so beautiful outside. THe sun was out, the sky was clear and it seemed like everything sparkled in the day. We sat in the dock as professor Corrigan read the poems to us.

The poems were about nature and how they would use nature to get their points across. Nature is always a good thing to use because everyone understands nature. Even if a girl living in Chile has never seen snow she has at least understand the concept and seen it on tv. Nature is something that is all around us. As we read about trees and grass we were able to visually see it. It became easier to understand the poems because we were close to them, at time we could even touch these things. THis is a better way of understand literature compared to sitting in a class room and just reading. We know what tall grass looks like in the wind but sitting in the classroom we just imagine but being outside we got to see it first hand. This is the good thing about getting to experience literature.

Nature sights like the bright sun. We watched a mother duck lead her babies across the lake but there was one that stayed behind. We watched as the mosses on the trees sway back and forth in the breeze. The lake was peaceful and sparkled in the sun. I just wanted to stick my feet in the cool water, it looked so inviting! It was such a peaceful place to be even professor Corrigan got distracted a few times and pointed out huge fishes. They were the biggest fish i had ever seen, almost a foot and a half. I wander what they taste like...anways friday was fun.
